I think it looks great. The cost of that wood is so spendy that after cost you have to mark it up so much to make a profit unless you sell a huge quantity. If you add an elbow so the skull sits upright, I'd purchase a couple for shop stock at about 20 to 25 dollar a pop if the craftsmanship is good. That wood is so beautiful that sometimes it takes away from the skull.

Thanks for the advice. It is pretty valuable wood so I don't think I could do it for that much. But that helps.

$50-75. Depending on size and quality of wood.

I love Maple burl.. that is a very nice plaque.. would price it at, at least 50.00. I would probably buy one at least, to store for that special rack...

Nice piece of wood. I used to sell plaques for around $30.

Maple burl..one of my favorites to work with...it looks great.
And yeah that wood is so sweet looking it does kind of detracts from the mount.
I have made some of mine out of yellow cedar. hickory, and walnut.
From the pictures you did an outstanding job...I like the live edge on the bottom..very cool!

I have done three, one on a euro mule deer and two on elk. I left the natural shape to the burls, but I do like what you did on the cut out and the way the shape turned out. I bought 10 or so burl's from Randle Woods 10 plus years ago when I worked that area. As far as a price point for you, it depends on how much you are paying for them, and how much time and materials you are putting into them as well. Good luck, and a great look.
